| Description of the problem | At temperature 48 f, sat in stationary car for 30 min with radio on, lights on. Battery ran all the way down. Had to get a jump. At temperature 36 f, sat in stationary car 20 min. With radio off, lights off. Battery ran all the day down. Had to get a jump. Subaru says that battery tests normal on gr-8 test and that current draw is normal at this time . 010a-. 027a. I'm concerned that the vehicle battery is not equipped to support its electrical needs. Could key system be a factor? Subaru would not do anything beyond the above tests. There are other reports like this on internet sites. My confidence in the vehicle is eroded. |
